1. Extensions.mkext is an archive of kext's. Search for "mkextunpack" and "kextcache" in the forum and you'll figure it out. There are threads/topic's describing how to use them better than I could.

 

2. That boot iso (GA-P35-DS4.ISO) has a disabler for AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext so you shouldn't need to worry 'bout that. The answer to your question either way would be yes, it'll work as long as you get permissions right in Extra/Extensions/ and down. Diskutil won't work here - use "chmod -R 755" and "chown -R root:wheel". Remember the "-R"! Basically you're doing a "manual" repairPermissions. For more info, again use the search.

 

Thanks,

Cm.

 

 

Thanks Cm for the help!! I finally got a stable Leopard and everything is working great! :thumbsup_anim:

That did the trick. :thumbsup_anim: Thank you very much. I had read all the threads about it and suddenly remembered it when I read your explanation.

 

Chameleon installs, among other things, a file called boot on your hard drive's root folder (/). Your BOOT132 CD has a boot file as well on it's own root. You need to boot from the CD, and once in OS X, replace the boot file from your root folder on your HDD with the one that's on the CD.

Hey everyone. Here's my stab at this..

 

I put together two separate packages. The idea for me is to use Boot-132 to install and maintain your system after the matter. My Boot132 should be compatible with...

 

ICH7-ICH9R Desktop systems

Nvidia Based Graphics Cards

Core Based CPUs (Core2Duo, Core2Quad, Core2Extreme, etc)

 

Basically it works with the basic motherboards out there, and I DID NOT add PS/2 support because people on desktops don't need to be using such old tech. :thumbsup_anim:

 

First you'll need my custom installation Boot-132 cd. You can download it here: http://rapidshare.com/files/148201201/Boot...nstall.zip.html

 

You need that to boot the Retail Leopard DVD and install the system.

 

Once you've done that, be sure to make a bootable USB pendrive. The instructions to do this are here... http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=115064

 

Once you make the USB pendrive bootable, grab my files to copy to the pendrive here... http://rapidshare.com/files/148201786/Boot...allUSB.zip.html

 

 

You'll use the pendrive to boot from all the time. Be sure to set it as HDD 1 and have your primary Leopard HDD set as HDD2. You won't need to install Chameleon or anything, just go. :)

 

 

I know I'm not explaining things to the fullest of my ability. It's about 3AM right now and I'm writing this, I'll go into detail later. For those who know what I'm talking about, etc, go ahead and play! :D

 

Please leave some feedback on how it worked for you.

 

This has been tested on:

 

-Gigabyte 945GCM-S2C

-DFI Lanparty DK P35-T2RS

 

-Stell

I need your help guys

 

I can't go pass the screen that asks me to select my drives. I choose 80 or 81, then I press ENTER.

 

The prompt takes me to the "boot:" again, I press ENTER and takes me back to the previous drive selection menu.

 

I insert the Retail Leopard 10.5.4 into the drive and it never even spins to load !!

 

I restart the computer hoping that it'd boot from the DVD but no go..

 

What am I doing wrong ?

 

Do the HDDs have to be formatted in HFS+ ? Mine are NTFS !! Does that matter ? I have no other way of loading an operating system to format them as HFS+ !

 

Is there something that I'm not doing right ?

 

The booloader loads fine (the modified one), while the original one never loads !

 

Thanks

 

Anyone guys ? :( what am I doing wrong ?

 

My computer specs:

 

GA EP45-DS3P

6600 Quad

9800GT 512MB (works well)

4GB of RAM

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could answer my question from post 739. I would like to get a netbook and want to know if boot-132 will work on the netbook I listed. If not which netbooks will it work with?

 

Thanks in advance.

Mac-o: You'd be far better off getting a netbook powered by Intel's Atom processor, which can run the vanilla kernel.

 

 

 

Ok, are there any specific netbooks with Intel's Atom that you like or recommend? Also, are there any things that I need to look out for that make the installation of OSX harder or not possible? Like the type of hard drive or graphics card? I really appreciate the help, I am sick of carrying my Macbook Pro 15 inch. Great computer but way too heavy to travel around NYC with.

Minha instalação bem sucedida:

 

Configuração:

Asus Maximus Formula (Intel x38)

Core2Duo E4500

4GB DDR2 Kingston

XFX Geforce 7900GT

Seagate 250GB

 

1 - Usei um CD Genérico encontrado neste link para o boot inicial.

2 - Para conseguir acessar o DVD 10.5.1 Retail tive que usar -v -x para entrar como safe boot.

3 - Particionei o HD como GUID, em duas partes (uma para o OSX e outra em FAT para compartilhar arquivos entre o Mac e o Windows).

4 - Instalei

5 - Tentei iniciar o sistema em modo normal mas ficava parado em "waiting for root device" e, em modo de segurança não conseguia instalar os kexts.

6 - Mudei a configuração da bios da placa mãe do HD de IDE (ou RAID) para AHCI. Desativei o jMicron pois meu leitor de DVD é SATA (não sei se isto teve influência).

7 - Iniciei novamente pelo CD e escolhi o boot do Mac OS X em modo normal. Iniciou perfeitamente e pude instalar as kexts necessárias para o funcionamento do áudio e da rede. (Extraí as kexts do DVD Kalyway 10.5.2 com o Pacifist).

8 - Atualizei para o 10.5.5 e está perfeito!

 

Boa sorte a todos!!!

 

..................................................

My successful installation:

 

Configuration:

Asus Maximus Formula (Intel x38)

Core2Duo E4500

Kingston 4GB DDR2

XFX Geforce 7900GT

Seagate 250GB

 

1 - I used a Generic CD founded in this link to the initial boot.

2 - To be able to access the DVD 10.5.1 Retail had to use x-v-how to enter safe boot.

3 - Partition the HD as GUID in two (one for OSX and another in FAT to share files between Mac and Windows).

4 - Install.

5 - I tried to start the system in normal mode but was stopped in "waiting for root device" and in safe mode, I could not install the kexts.

6 - I changed the configuration of the HD in motherboard bios from IDE (or RAID) to AHCI. Disable the jMicron because my DVD player is SATA (I don't know if it had influence).

7 - Started again from the CD and chose the boot of Mac OS X in normal mode. Started well and was able to install the kexts required to operate the audio and network. (The kexts I extracted from Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD with Pacifist)

8 - Upgrade to 10.5.5 and is perfect!

 

Good luck to all!

Tested personally... it works perfectly!!! Installing and updates from Apple's auto updater... A landmark in OSX86 History!!!

 

P.s.: tested on a GA-945GCMX-S2 with E2200 processor, on an Acer Aspire 5920G. Perfect!

 

NOTICE: Once the system is installed you can put up chameleon 1.0.11 and put dsmos.kext manually in the extensions of the hdd to make it boot without the "magic" CD

 

How to do this? I have put dsmos.kext manually in the extensions of the hdd but I have black screen and no boot... The CD boot way still working.

Thanks!

My Son bought a Toshiba Qosmio X300-11N , the top for gamers! With 2 Samsung 7400rpm HDs on the rig.

I decided to test OSX on it, i finally booted it with Boot132 with NVKush in the boot.

OSX 10.5.4 went well till reboot.

It worked!!! :wallbash:

 

Specs are : Centrino2(last Intel one)2.53Hhz, ICH9, 4Gigs RAM,NVidia 9800mGTX(All resolutions but without QE,CI)Realtek ALC 272 HDAudio(not working),Realtek 8169 Lan working OOB,Trackpad not working.

Waiting for NVidia and sound drivers... :stretcher:

Stell,

 

I am ready to give your bootloader CD and USB drive a go - I have already used stickpin's guide with generic kext files and moderate success with my GA-P35-DS3L, but I am having problems with your bootloader USB file. Doesn't seem to unzip for me - the cd file works fine. Is anyone else having problems with the file?

 

UPDATE - Nevermind, I got the file to unzip on my Windows XP machine. Not sure why the 2nd file did not work for me on the hackintosh. Sorry.

Hello ,

I used to be on leopard since a long time , but now I can't

because I have a 9600GT which is not compatible with leopard,

I read you managed to boot and use snow leopard on a PC , and maybe

you will help lot of people if you release this bootloader.( snow leopard got 9600Gt driver )

 

Bye see you :)

 

 

There's only 1 person able to boot Snow Leopard on Hack and that is Netkas.

Hi, Gang:

 

When y'all say "Retail DVD," do I have to get the actual install disk as PURCHASED from the store...or can I burn one of the 10.5 / 10.5.1 / 10.5.4 "full version ISO" disk images floating around online? They all seem to be about 7.7 GB.

 

I have a hack running Kalyway 10.5.2...and a bunch of XP / Linux boxes, so burning the "real deal" install DVD ISO should theoretically be okay, right?

 

I'm trying to mess around with OS X to see what the fuss is all about. My PC is pretty close to vanilla, and I'd like to keep it that way, if possible. It's a GA-945GCM-S2C with an 8600GT, 2GB RAM, a Conroe 6300 and a Gb LAN card that Leopard likes right outta the box. Once I add a supported external USB sound thingy, I should have a maximally vanilla little rig.

 

My Kaly 10.5.2 works pretty well, but shutdown is still sometimes goofy...and Time Machine doesn't work at all (not that it's all that necessary). But this approach -- especially when a near-future more automated install is released -- seems like the best way to go.

 

So, what d'ya think about the "Retail DVD?"

 

Thanks,
